Fiddling it Out.

From the BUeHG Vista (Gd) Patriot
A certain doctor in town was once called
to set PATIENTS leg which had been broken
in some way. The patient was one of those
kind of men who considered it morally
wrong TO pay doctors bill, and he owed
the physician already quite a sum- After
setting the leg of the fellow and making him
as comfortable as possible, the patient
turned to the doctor with sort of thankful
dot-care-whether-y ou-ever-g get your-pay-or-
not expression, and said:
Doctor, never felt so comfortable in all
my life
The doctor, knowing the character of the
man as a paymaster looked around and
spied violin sitting in the corner of the
room.
Can you play the fiddle" queried the
doctor
YES, he replied.
Then take this violin and play until tell
you to stop said the doctor, "as never
could get anything else out of you"
After playing for about two hours the
doctor said he had enough and he receipted
the mans account and bowed himself out.

Nashville Bats Somers all over the

NASHVILLE, July l6.--For four innings
there was grand display of fireworks to-
day at the ball park. The Nashville's got
onto Somers' delivery at the beginning of
the game, and sent the ball flying all over
the field, earning six runs in the fourth
inning. Powell then came in to pitch, after
which only three hits were made. Masran
was very effective, keeping the visitors
down to eight scattering hits. Burks,
Geiss and Fuller carried off the
honors in the field, and Campau and Hogan
did the best base running. Campau was
presented with basket of fruit when he
came to the bat in the first inning and
acknowledged it by making a two-bagger.

THE INTERSTATE LEAGUE.
What the Base Ball Boys are Doing in
the Matter.


A meeting of the organizers of the Inter
state Base Ball League was held in this city
few days ago and views lnterchanged re-
garding the matter. After some discussion
resolutions were adopted to the following
effect:
|. Any person playing in this league
shall have been resident of his respective
city for two years previous to his engage
ment'
2. One-half of the franchise money shall
be awarded the club winning the pennant.
The Secretary, William P. Bailey, was
directed to forward copies of the resolutions
to the several clubs, as follows Atlanta,
Columbus, Charleston, Macon, Augusta,
Columbia and jacksonville, and also to cor
respond with them in regard to the matter.
AS soon as the eight cities notified inform
the organizers here of their decision, a meet
ing will probably be called in Macon or Sa-
vannah to perfect the league organization.
The members to compose the Savannah
club will be selected from the general clubs
in this city. 1t may as well be stated in this
connection, that the players here are being
watched carefully as to their qualifications;
so they may take warning from this and do
their best, if they expect to secure positions
i'll the League team. The players will re-
ceive regular salary from the club, of
course.
This scheme is certainly good one,
and should be encouraged by all lovers Of
baseball. The success of this Interstate
League will be the means of giving 'home
talent chance to expand, and also will
keep the money that has been expended on
foreign players at home. Besides
greater interest will be taken in
this league, composed of clubs of this section,
as it we're, and the various contests between
the different cities in the league would
prove very productive of sport, and attract
hundreds who would never attend a foreign
clubs games. The Managers request the
papers in the cities enumerated to place this
matter before their readers. Mr.. William
F. Bailey is the Secretary here, to whom all
communications can be addressed
